what is would of? please tell me y'all know it's would've. and don't say "it's the internet, chill." because stuff like that is absurd.

and then when people don't use the word they mean. like in one of these threads there's a video that says: new dance CRAVE :x

or the running joke where Bolivian = oblivion...that came from a real thing.

Jimmies rustled brah?

 

[lobotomybeats]

I agree OP, especially with the "could care less" thing.

They're/there/their and you're/your. These are not difficult to use.

[servechilled81]

the "would of" thing irks me too
also
if your brain is thinking you are or they are how do you end up typing your or their?
that's what I don't understand

It seems like it would take more effort to not get it right.

There's this girl I know, her parents own a couple gas stations and are pretty loaded. She goes and does beauty pageants, got a nose and boob job and is always traveling on her parents money (she helps them out at the store, but it's a small town and all she does is ring people up) but anyways, the other day on on her Facebook page, she said something about even though she's a model and travels all the time, she takes "being a mountain girl for granite" and I about spit my food all over my laptop.

Random but what is "c'mon"? It's come on so wouldn't it be cm'on. Just noticed it in the OP.

It's ' Come on'.   There's a lot of slang out there

 

[niquefreak94]

Random but what is "c'mon"? It's come on so wouldn't it be cm'on. Just noticed it in the OP.

you put an apostrophe wherever letters are missing. the phrase is come on. if you take out the "ome" all you have left is "c" and "on" = c'mon

if you want to be super technical it should be c'm'on

I cringe when I see people using an apostrophe s after a noun that ends in an "s."

For example: This is Jesus's car.

When it should be: This is Jesus' car.

There's a certain team grammar member, I won't name him to embarrass him, but whywesteppin believes you can use an apostrophe s after a noun that ends in an "s." :x

Obviously you can't. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what they call irony.

They're both correct.

I fully support this thread.

Additionally, I judge the intelligence of people based on their grammar skills. Obviously it's not a fool-proof method, but I don't care.

 

[doubled productions]

They're both correct.

Damn I'm out of reps but I got you when they're back. I personally use the ___s' but yeah, both ways are technically right.

Try using YOUR brain if you couldn't see it was intentional. Jesus christ.

You couldn't tell the words were clearly forced in their, the first two sentences are pure fluff and contribute nothing to the point.

My apologies. Sarcasm is often hard to detect on the internet, as I am sure you are aware. Sorry about that.
